FamilySearch.org reaches 100,000 mark

FamilySearch has announced a milestone in its collection of Family History Books.

One hundred thousand books have now been scanned by the
partnership of the Family History Library, Allen County Public Library, and
several other important family history libraries in the world.

These books are online and available to search and use on the
FamilySearch.org website. You can reach the collection by clicking Search
and then Books or by simply clicking the link above.

The majority of the books online are family histories, with a
smaller portion made up of cemetery records, local and county histories,
genealogy magazines, and how-to-books, gazetteers, and medieval histories and
pedigrees.
